Adeel unfolding

[Intro] Whispers in the mirror, a quiet morning glow Adeel at the window, learning how to breathe slow [Verse 1] I am Adeel, not a label, just a map of roads I’ve walked Dust on my shoes, but a light in my chest that won’t be talked I’ve wrestled with my namesake fears, stitched scars into my sleeve Learning every small ritual that keeps a stubborn faith to these dreams [Pre-Chorus] Breathing in the ordinary, I hear a louder please The kettle sings a future when I choose to believe [Chorus] I am becoming, step by step, through the everyday Finding meaning in the fingerprints life leaves along the way Resilience is patient, it forgives what I don’t know to say And in the quiet hours, I choose to stay [Verse 2] There are nights when the world feels heavy, like a closed front door But I count the breath between the knock and what’s in store Adeel, a echo trying on a different name for size I learn the language of small wins that wake the waking skies [Pre-Chorus] Breathing in the ordinary, I hear a louder please The kettle sings a future when I choose to believe [Chorus] I am becoming, step by step, through the everyday Finding meaning in the fingerprints life leaves along the way Resilience is patient, it forgives what I don’t know to say And in the quiet hours, I choose to stay [Bridge] If the city forgets me, I will remember my own course If the night feels endless, I’ll light a candle in the fog, of course No dream is too small to begin, no dawn too shy to rise Adeel, you’re enough for the morning, enough for the skies [Chorus] I am becoming, step by step, through the everyday Finding meaning in the fingerprints life leaves along the way Resilience is patient, it forgives what I don’t know to say And in the quiet hours, I choose to stay [Outro] So here I am, with hands unclenched, listening to my own days Adeel, unfolding softly, in the rhythm of ordinary grace
